I'm sure everyone has seen this email before

But is it real or is that all made up? I'm too lazy to start researching every single incident. I'm thinking it's made up, but if it is really real, that's kinda creepy.

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.



Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.





John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.


Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford'.
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford'.

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

It's all part of Sarah Palin's vast right wing conspiracy to get everyone to believe in God.

Figured it was fake, just thought I'd check. It just sounds way over the top. I've heard of crazy coincidences before but that one just pushes a bit.

 

[destrekor]

someone born last year will be leading us in 2060. poor bastard is gonna be shot by a wife of one of the Kennedy's who is a secretary in Lincoln, MA, all because he found out she was banging the great-great-grandson of Henry Ford.

Southerners shooting things? No. Can't be right.

*runs*

I've seen this in some of those "strange facts" books, but never seen the email, so I assumed it was true. I've never bothered to research/verify this myself, but I assume the authors of those books would have done so before publishing this as fact.

That is so old the first time I saw it was before the age of the copy machine, it was a stinky mimeograph.
